US deportees face sudden, ‘traumatic’ separation from their children, report finds

The findings of this report underscore a critical gap in the immigration enforcement process, where the rights and welfare of families are overlooked in favor of expediency.

This situation calls for urgent policy reforms to protect families and uphold humane treatment during deportation proceedings.
